    Effective on October 29, 2002, you are directed to adjust the current limits for the following categories, as provided for in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Governments of the United States and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia dated November 7, 1997:

    CategoryAdjusted twelve-month limit 1
    43326,423 dozen.
    44863,539 dozen.
    1 The limits have not been adjusted to account for any imports exported after December 31, 2001.

    The Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements has determined that these actions fall within the foreign affairs exception to the rulemaking provisions of 5 U.S.C.553(a)(1).

    Sincerely,
